PURPOSE: To provide the method for discriminating photographic solid processing agents to be supplied to an automatic developing machine which eliminates the laboriousness of developer compounding and the need for storage of a replenishing liquid, prevents the deterioration of the replenishing liquid, enables stable processing regardless of daily processing quantities, eliminate a replenishing tank to make the device compact and eliminates the need for using plastic bottles, etc.
CONSTITUTION: This method for discriminating the photographic solid processing agents is constituted to put markings to discriminate the kinds of the solid processing agents 18 which are previously dividedly weighed to a specified amt. and are molded and are charged into solid processing agent supply devices of respective processing tanks of the automatic developing machine for silver halide photosensitive materials provided with at least a development processing tank and processing tank having bleachability or to vary the shapes of the solid processing agents 18 or the shapes and sizes of the packs thereof by each kind of the processing agents.
